Welcome to Our Family!

  • When God Says, “Wait”.

    When God Says, “Wait”. Technology is both a blessing and a challenge. Microwave ovens became affordable for residential use in the late 1970s, and cell phones became popular in the 1990s and early 2000s. Even as a Baby Boomer, I remember our family enjoying instant mashed potatoes during our evening meal. ATMs and fast-food drive-in…

  • America, the Land I Love

    America, the Land I Love November 5, 2024, we had an opportunity to cast our votes for the selection of President in our country. No matter the outcome, there can only be one winner selected for the next four year term. On Monday, November 11, 2024, we will celebrate Veteran’s Day. Both our newly elected…

  • A Teachable Moment

    A Teachable Moment My daughter Stephanie and I left early for the grocery store. Kevin needed the car to go to work and would be gone most of the evening. We shopped for the items on our list and were heading home. I drove in the middle lane, knowing the third lane was about to…

  • He Knows Your Name

    He Knows Your Name “But now, thus says the Lord, who created you, O Jacob,And He who formed you, O Israel:“Fear not, for I have redeemed you;I have called you by your name;you are Mine.” Isaiah 43:1 (NKJV) It’s refreshing when we cross paths with a friend whom we haven’t seen for some time. We call each other by name and…

  • A Burst of Sunlight

    A Burst of Sunlight I believe it’s safe to say that we have all been in dark places in our lives. It may be a literal place of blackness, but more often than not, it is a time with shadows that confuse us as to which direction to take. “And I will bring the blind…

  • A Cup of Water

    A Cup of Water “For whosoever shall give you a cup of water to drink in My name, because ye belong to Christ, verily I say unto you, he shall not lose his reward.” Mark 9:41 (KJV) Water. Cool and satisfying. It quenches our thirst like no other beverage. As children of God, we want…

  • Seasons Part 1

    Seasons Part 1 “While the earth remaineth, seedtime and harvest, and cold and heat, and summer and winter, and day and night shall not cease.” Genesis 8:22 (KJV) Autumn. It’s my favorite season. Some of the highlights of this period are the cooler weather; shorter days; school is back in session for a new year;…

  • “Are You Okay?”

    “Are You Okay?” My son Kevin Jr has a kind heart and will on numerous occasions ask this question to anyone who he feels is hurting in some way. God created us to love Him and to love one another. (Matthew 22: 37-39 KJV) There are many ways to love others: Helping someone with a…

  • Just in Time

    Just in time God does not keep time as we do. He always existed and has no end. Jesus said in Revelation 22:13 (KJV) “I am Alpha and Omega, the beginning and the end, the first and the last.” Our Distractions vs His Peace Let’s face it. A large majority of our lives will have…
